North Vancouver, Greenwood ParkAge: All
Since 2001, the City has partnered with Evergreen on this fantastic award winning project called the City Park Rehabilitation Project. It was created as a means to give back to our degraded natural areas, suffering from the effects of intensive recreational use, stream bank erosion and invasive plants. Stewardship is a satisfying and rewarding way to experience the natural areas in the City and contribute in a meaningful way to the ecological health of these areas.
You can get involved! Evergreen hosts year-round public stewardship and restoration activities throughout the City of North Vancouver, including free interpretive walks, workshops and a monthly stewardship event the fourth Saturday of each month.
Everyone is welcome and no experience is necessary. Evergreen will supply all the training, tools, gloves, and refreshments. All events go ahead rain or shine, so please come dressed for the weather, with sturdy shoes, and in clothing you don't mind getting a bit dirty.
Saturday, August 27 - Eat the Invaders Blackberry Bake-off. The bake-off invites people to go out and pick the blackberries before the birds spread the seeds and use them in a recipe to share at the event. Greenwood Park – Meet at the entrance of the park nearest the intersection of Ridgeway Ave and 23rd St. East.
